Would you record an episode of your podcast when you were fasting that was all about food? Yes GAWD. Well it seemed like a good idea at the time, to explore the relationship between the ancient medicine of ayurveda, trauma and the rungs of the polyvagal theory ladder. Did it get a little messy, were any soapboxes clambered upon, were the glimmers of genius amongst the hanger...y'all better order a serve for ya earholes and find out.

It's a story of a random Tedx talk, and a prodosic rabbit hole of executive vocal realness. Polly unravels the quest to educate people on how to say their names so folx listening thought they have the leadership qualities needed to be memorable to a tale of two ladder rungs of the Autonomic Nervous System. TL;DR? No way, you're not getting out of it that easily. BYO soap box and get ready to scream "IT'S MR SHEFFIELD YOU FEWL!"

Pretty much anywhere you are in the world right now, you've exprerienced a COVID induced lockdown. If you're into your fifth lockdown in 18 months, you might be finding that this time is the worst time, and that 'we're all in it together' resilience is more FTW. The pandemic is a perfect storm, in this episode of Polly's Vague theories, we enter the eye of the trauma, and spend some time in celebrity Big Brother lockdown. Masks required.

Polyvagal theory and that meandering vagus nerve is seriously complex, except when you break it down to its three component parts and then play a game of snakes and ladders! This is the ep for your background deets on all things Polly and polyvagal, nerds for nerves will be elevated to the high heavens.
